Norman Bird Sanctuary

Norman Bird Sanctuary

The Norman Bird Sanctuary is a 325-acre (1.32 km2) bird sanctuary, nature preserve, and museum at 583 Third Beach Road in Middletown, Rhode Island overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

In 1950 the Norman Bird Sanctuary was founded through a bequest in the will of Mabel Norman Cerio. The Sanctuary comprises the largest area of preserved open space in Newport County. The refuge contains hay fields, woodlands and ridges overlooking the ocean and ponds. There is also a Visitor's Center and gift shop, and a 19th Century Barn Museum featuring displays about the wildlife for children and adults.[1]
